The much talked about Rakesh Sharma biopic which now stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead has been making headlines for a long time now. Titled Saare Jahaan Se Achha, the film earlier had Aamir Khan playing the male lead but it was later when the actor walked out of the biopic. Written by Anjum Rajabali, this space film will be one of its kinds.

Present at the 2nd edition of Cinestaan India's Storyteller Script Contest 2018 along with writers Juhi Chaturvedi and Anjum Rajabali, Aamir Khan spoke about not being a part of Saare Jahaan Se Achha. Aamir said, “I think it’s a great and wonderful script. I am a huge fan of Rakesh (Sharma) and it’s a wonderful story. I feel sad that I am not able to do it, which is why I actually called up Shah Rukh and said that it’s a wonderful story and you should hear it’. I am really happy that he liked it and he is doing it so, all my best wishes for their project.”

Talking about the film, writer Anjum Rajabali revealed, “Saare Jahaan Se Achha will go on floor in February and I have been very excited about the film because like Aamir said, I have also been a big fan of Rakesh and now he is a good friend also,”

He further added, “Frankly, I was very keen that Aamir should do the film. He liked the script, we discussed it a lot and we had a lot of hopes about it. Unfortunately, Aamir is consumed with a larger sort of project called Mahabharat.”

Do tell us if just like us, you too are very excited for the film. Stay tuned for more updates.
